>1st Germany did not start WWI it started when Russia decided to protect the Serbs from the consequences of harboring terrorist groups. Then the French wouldn't declare there commitment to neutrality making it clear that if the Wehrmarcht moved east they were going to attempt a grab of Alsace-Lorraine. Britain got involved when Belgium, which Britain always worries about historically was invaded( the Kaiser did stupidly decide to build a fleet, shoulda listened to Bismarck and kept on good terms with the British).
Yes technically world war one started in Serbia. However Germany wanted war and used the situation in the Balkans to begin war against France and Russia. German was going to start a war soon whether the Balkan situation occured or not.

>I refuse to try to educate every anti-German idiot on FR >who learned history from Marvel Comics and re-runs of F->Troop.
Unfortunately the substance of my first post can't be challanged. If bringing up the fact that Kosovo was a bad war is the best you can do then you are basically admitting my post is right. Answer these questions:
Has Germany over the last 100 years killed millions upon millions of people in aggressive wars?
Did America offer billions in food and economic aid to save Germany from third world status?
Did America spend huge amounts of money protecting Germany from Soviet hordes?
Did millions of American GI's give years of the lives on garrison duty in crappy towns across West Germany?
Did a large left wing movement appear in West Germany that worked to undermine the Amerian position in Europe?
Did the German public try to stop the 'cowboy' Reagan from ending the cold war with a show of strength?
Did the Germans sit on their hands while genocide occured only a few hundred miles away?
Did Germany only get involved in the Balkans after Americans first stepped into the mess?
America has done a lot for Germany... What has Germany done for America???

ROTFLMAO!!! Even if one or two points are debatable, it's a well done parody.

Every time some flag-waving maniac gets the bug for international adventurism, one phrase comes to mind, "Remember the Maine." Yes, let's hope there is "Peace in our time".
